I am full busted (44F or G). This is easily the most comfortable bra I have ever owned. I see pretty bras in stores or ads, but am not even tempted to try them on. I prefer the polka dot version to the others as it fits me better under the arm. The shoulder straps never fall off or dig in. I did go up from a 42 to 44 band size for this to be comfortable for me.

Being a large-breasted woman, I'm always on the lookout for a comfortable bra that fits well and has the right amount of support. I happened upon your website in one of my many searches and it seemed like the Cate side support might be the answer. Wow! I loved it so much that I immediately ordered more...I think I'm on my third order now...I plan on replacing ALL of my bras with this one! Please don't stop carrying this as I have never found such comfort & fit in a light-feeling bra! The price is very reasonable too!

I never heard of this brand/bra till a specialty shop and now I havn't looked back. Putting it on it was the first time in about a year I felt comfortable. I am a 34G/H. I've tried Freya, Panache, Elomi, Wacoal. A lot of those put serious strain on my shoulders causing me months of pain and finally when I found this bra POOF all gone.
For the love of all things DON'T put it in a dryer w/o a fancy drying bag! I've put them in by themselves and the back clasps keep getting caught an breaking off. Ruined two this way cause I don't learn.

I've been wearing Elomi for years and these have never failed me. All the different styles that I've bought have worked great. You MUST be measured properly in order to insure proper fit. I am a 34J uk size which is equivalent to US 34M. I'm so glad they offer smaller band sizes and realize that not all large breast women have a back like an ape.

I bought this bra recently because I had success with Empreinte previously, and the lovely purple color was on sale. It's now my favorite, favorite bra. Super comfortable and supportive without any pinching. It's beautiful and yet manages to be ok under clothing for the most part.

I purchased this bra as I've had good luck with Elomi bras. This one I don't like as well as the others. I purchased this in a 40F, as I've lost some weight. The band size is the same, the cups are different. However, I found this one to be a tighter fit in the band and I think it is because the fabric isn't stretchy. I will keep it and wear it, but I prefer the Caitlyn model.

I have tried so many bras and this one is the best for big breasts. It lifts and separates and I don't have to worry about adjusting are pulling up the front and tugging on my straps. Large breasted women know what I am talking about. It is expensive and worth every penny. Take care of it by gently hand washing and letting air dry and it lasts a long time. I still wear the first Prima Donna purshased 2 years ago. If you purchase one, I hope you love it as much as I do.

I bought this bra because I finally figured out my new, correct bra size and it was one of my trial pieces. What I found was this seems to run large in the cup compared to the other 38HH bras I ordered from a different brand. I filled out the bottoms ok, but had WAY too much room in the top. Lots of wrinkling on the top and some wrinkling on the sides as well. Since I already found 3 other bras I loved, I'm returning this one for now and might try exploring Elomi in a cup size down to see if that helps with the fit issues. Band size was perfect, very comfortable and I loved the extra details. In spite of the loose and wrinkled fabric in the top of the cup I still felt like the bra was otherwise decently supportive.

I have worn this bra for many years. It fits me perfectly. My local store doesn't carry it anymore, saying it has been discontinued. I thought I would try good old internet, and there you were! So I am still getting the bra. Don't ever discontinue this model.

I tried so many different bras. Luckily Bare Necessities didn't get upset with all my returns. I am a 36G and 5'10" with a long torso, so shoulder to breast, I am also very long. I can't wear the shorter one like the Elomi because it runs very low and I have hang over on the sides. I am also a full cup. I like the Empreinte Kayla, but they are so expensive and almost never go on sale. I tried the Prima Donna Seamless Satin and it was small. I also tried the PD Madison and it made me look very pointed. This bra not only fits well, it gives a nice round look under clothes. I do not like the seams, but if that's what it takes to hold the girls up, I'm in. I am going to try the seamless satin again in a bigger size so I have a seamless bra, but this one is 5 stars for me.

I find this bra very comfortable, for those days when I don't care about padding/shaping and also when I wear a button down blouse (no gaping). It also really does smooth down the back and side lumps. As with all Curvy Couture, size up with European sizing.

I love this bra. I am a large busted woman 40 DD almost an F and I hate wearing any bra with padding, I definately don't need it. The trick is to buy a smaller cup size because the lace streches quickly. I buy a 40 D, it is snug for about 2 weeks but fits great for the next 9 to 12 months before I have to order a new one. And did I mention it gives me great clevage, no smashed boob.

I purchase my bras here always. It's nice to always find your size. There is a little problem, though. Every time I purchase a couple of bras, one of them has hooks that dig into my back and cause itching and it is very annoying.

I bought this back in July/August 2017 and am very happy with my purchase. The item is very comfortable and fits just right. I'm also glad that it came with optional straps if I ever need them. Overall very pleased.

I bought the pink color a few months ago in my normal bra & cup size (36G). I should have returned it for a smaller size, but didn't do that. Instead I hooked it on the tightest hooks. The cups had some extra space in the front, but it was fine for my daily workouts. The bra is quite comfortable and supportive. I recently ordered the grey one in a smaller band size with the same cup size (34G). I called them for help and the person told me the cup size would decrease slightly with the smaller band size and she was right. I tend to wear the grey one under my everyday clothing because I like it so much.

Finally a bra that looks sexy in a larger size. Contains the girls with no spillage. Can even bend ove without getting the quad look. Very comfortable. Four stars only because the seams show through thinner fabrics.

I had my doubts about the hold of this bra but it did what it was meant to do all through the wedding. I am not used to bras with underwire so there was a time it poked but I kind of adjusted into it better and had no issue from there on. I would definitely say it's worth the cost.

Great support, comfortable underwire, I like the push innon the side that prevents my boobs from looking saggy. Overall a really comfortable fit and I will buy more from this brand if they have my size

I've had this bra for a couple of years now. It fits perfectly, provides good lift and shape and is incredibly supportive- this is the bra I use to run & bike in, and it does such a good job I still haven't gotten around to ordering a sport bra! Not the choice for a plunging neckline maybe, but still pretty and super comfortable. Visiting the site today to order a couple more. I wish it came in other colours!

Historically, I have purchased Prima Donna bras - but I wasn't in a position to spend that much at this time. So, I thought I'd give another brand a try with a lower price point. I'm pleasantly surprised with this bra.
I'm a 46 H, so finding a bra that gives real support is a challenge - especially under $100. I like this bra because the cups come up higher, and I don't have the issue of coming out of the top of my bra as I bend over often at work. Something to keep in mind if you like to wear lower cut tops, as this bra would show. I prefer higher necklines, so no problem there. It is comfortable, and I'm quite fond of the wider straps.
The only thing I noticed is that I ordered a 46 and it seems a smidge bigger than my other 46's. Instead of using the longest hooks, I use the middle set. But that's what they're there for, right? So that part didn't actually make a difference in the overall fit because of the adjustable nature of bras.
I'm really pleased with this bra so far. I'm curious how it will hold up longterm compared to my Prima Donnas, as those lasted about 3 years before they needed replacing when the elastic just couldn't rebound anymore. Time will tell. But if I even get 1.5 years out of this model, I'll still be saving money and getting great support.
